Colin Quinn has been one of the funniest and most well-regarded comedians in the world for over twenty years. A man who is appreciated and respected by his peers and fellow comedians just as much as fans, in addition to his illustrious career as a stand-up comedian Quinn has also appeared on SNL where he hosted Weekend Update and hosted his own show Tough Crowd w/ Colin Quinn on Comedy Central which aired for over 200 episodes and provided a great look at what comics actually talk about. Most recently he took his brilliant one-man show Long Story Short to Broadway where a very successful run has led to a special on HBO in 2010 and to Colin taking the show on the road, with which he will be hitting Ridgefield CT. at the Ridgefield Playhouse on 2/17/12. Long Story Short, which I have had the pleasure of seeing live, is a comical look at the history of the world that anyone should be able to find funny. Colin was nice enough to join me for a very insightful chat about the state of comedy today, Long Story Short, how he came up with the concept, what it was like working with his close friend Jerry Seinfield who directed the show and a lot more! Follow Colin on Twitter where is hysterical @IamColinQuinn

Had a great time chatting with the very charming Connecticut native who took the world by storm in 2011 by becoming the first ever winner of NBC’s hit competition show The Voice. Javier joins me to talk about who inspired him as a kid, what the road was like as an up-and-coming musician with a record deal to becoming the next big thing on an American reality show, what Metallica song we are going to jam on backstage, who HE thinks would make great coaches on the show and MORE! Javier is swinging through The Ridgefield Playhouse on 2/2/12 and you can follow Javier on twitter @Javstwtr and go to his website www.JavierColon.com

Sean Keeley the creator of Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician (NunesMagician.com), the best Syracuse sports blog on the net, drops by to talk every Orange! We briefly touch on the football season that was before talking about the Bernie Fine scandal and Sean's great coverage of that over the past few months as well as our #1 ranked hoops squad and what lays ahead for Boeheim and the boys. Great podcast for any Cuse fan or any college hoops fan in general as we are discussing the number one team in the country after all.

Talk about a dude with an inspiring story, Court McGee defied the odds and went from a recovering drug addict to Ultimate Fighter Season 11 champion in less than five years. Court talks candidly about his early-life troubles, how he got through them and how they continue to affect his outlook on life today. Court talks about how he got his start in MMA, what it was like on the show, his time in the UFC since and his upcoming battle with Constantinos Philippou in Australia on 3/3/12. This is an interview that should be interesting and inspiring even if you are not a big fight fan. Follow Court on twitter @Court_McGee
